The document summarizes the efforts of Bharti Foundation and Satya Bharti School in Dhani Pipliyan village in Rajasthan to address the issue of child marriage through an awareness play by students. The teachers felt the community accepted harmful practices like child marriage and child labor. So students created and performed a play to educate villagers and obtain pledges against child marriage. The activity motivated both students and teachers while beginning to change community attitudes.

& many superstitions &
believe this type of
system like child
marriage , child labour
etc. So we felt that we
should improve/ change
these type of bad living
system & their
conception.

5. • Whenever we met the villagers at any PTM, social
occasion, or any other programme in the community we felt
that there are so many issues in this dhani and they are not
aware about these type of problems.
• Our team discusse about the future of these children and
found no safe future with this way. We saw the thinking of
their parents at low level. They behaves like totally
uneducated humans on these topics. They believes only on
their traditions.
• After this we imagined that what can we do for their safe &
bright future and How ?

remove this type of problems.

villagers to remove this problem.
We ‘Did’:

support on the spot.
